Miscellaneous Remarks On Gimli And On Rhythmic Prose, Manfred Zimmerman

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Suggests an etymology for Gimli’s name that makes him the son of Gloin. Identifies two passages in Lord of the Rings (in addition to those dealing with Bombadil) in which the prose is sufficiently rhythmic to read as poetry.

History, Action And Identity In "Upon Appleton House": Andrew Marvell And The New Historicism, Theodore Chen

Honors Papers

The present study on Marvell's "Upon Appleton House" has its genesis in an earlier explication of the 'Horatian Ode,' I was then fascinated by Marvell's isolation of the individual within the larger picture of the historical process and planned, when the opportunity arose, to explore this concern within the context of seventeenth-century historiography and political theory. Although the topic was solid enough on a practical level, it proved difficult to treat both individual texts and subjects as only products of their times on a theoretical level. My reservations were due not so much to any growing allegiance to a formalist …

A New Topography: Elizabeth Bishop's Late Poems, Jennifer Soalt

Honors Papers

Geography III, the title of Elizabeth Bishop's last book of poems prepares her readers for both a passage through familiar territory and an exploration of unmapped terrain. A return to the northern landscape of A Cold Spring and the southern landscape of Brazil is promised at the same time that a third and entirely new landscape is hinted at; we can find the Nova Scotia of "At the Fishouses" and "Cape Breton" in "The Moose" and "The End of March" and we can find the tropics of "Song for the Rainy Season" and "The Armadillo" in "Crusoe in England", but …

What We Bury: Poems And Epilogues, James Harry Nicholas Martin

Senior Scholar Papers

The manuscript, What We Bury: Poems and Epilogue, consists of two major parts. The first is comprised of eighteen poems, selected from the thirty-two that I had written by the end of March. Included in the eighteen, in accordance with what I had stated to be one of my aims in undertaking this project, are three poems written out of inherited forms: two, "The October Wind," (p.22) and "Wandering By the Sea For the First Time," (p.23) are sonnets and one, "Brewster Station, "(p.10) is a sestina that in the final draft was broken. Also adhering to one of my …

In A Land Of Plenty: A Don West Reader, Don West, Constance Adams West

Copyright-Free Books

Rooted in a particular place, the South and especially the Appalachian hills; in a long time, with poems dating from as early as 1932 and as late as 1981; and in the wide experience of a man who has been a farmer, lineman, preacher, organizer, deck hand, professor, and journalist. Land of Plenty is about America over the last half a century. It is about miners, freedom, racism, sharecroppers, family, love, loss, the South, laughter, labor, hunger, and heroism...Constance Adams West's spare illustrations make Land of Plenty still more beautiful." -Dave Roediger, Dept. of History, Northwestern U.

1. The first thing to report is that the Drinks Party held on 4th July at the Heinz Gallery, Portman Square was a great success. There was a sizeable number of people there and the talk given by Dr. Neil Jackson was both interesting and informative. Freda Levson tried to explain the close ties between the Troups and the MacDonalds, but some of us got lost in the genealogy. It is easiest to think of F.W. Troup whom the exhibition at the Heinz Gallery was honouring, as a king of “nephew” of MacDonalds. Troup was a distinguished architect in his …

Orts: The George MacDonald Society Newsletter

This evening is part of the celebrations of the F.W. Troup Exhibition which will be taking place in the gallery at that time. F.W.Troup, a relative of MacDonald’s, was a distinguished architect, Huntly born and bred, who became a distinguished architect. He died sometime in the 1940s.

Flights Of The Harvest-Mare, Linda Bierds

Ahsahta Press

Linda Bierds’ Flights of the Harvest-Mare, first published in 1985, is a first collection unmarred by self-involvement and sentimentality. Her poetry reflects the beautiful and often disturbing landscape of the West, where hope sometimes emerges from brutal occurrences. Written with an almost hallucinatory perception, Bierds’ poetry seems an acknowledgement of our own fleeting comprehension of the human spirit and the forces that shape it. “What Bierds releases is momentarily certain,” writes Pamela Stewart in the introduction, “which is as certain as one can truly be.”

Little-Dog-Of-Iron, Philip St. Clair

Ahsahta Press

An especially apt title for St. Clair’s 1985 collection of poems, Little-Dog-of-Iron has thrived during its sixteen years in print. The poems follow the trickster Coyote as St. Clair creates him in both modern and ancient myth, with occasional historical interludes based on fact, in which “Coyote Addresses His Brothers the Wolves and the Foxes.” St. Clair, like Coyote, mixes the horrific with the humorous unpredictably, for as Howard McCord writes in his introduction to the poems, “laughter and tears are brothers.” A somber “Coyote with the Shadow People” therefore finds itself with “Coyote Horny” and “Coyote in Law School.” …

An Experiment In Southern Letters : The Reviewer, 1921-1925, Elizabeth Spindler Scott

Master's Theses

The Reviewer (1921-1925) was a "little magazine" created by four iconoclastic young editors, Emily Clark, Hunter Stagg, Margaret Freeman, and Mary Street to counter Mencken's claim that the South was a "Sahara of the Bozart." Aided by R. L. Mencken, James Branch Cabell and Carl Van Vechten the editors secured contributions from the most famous writers of the time to publish with their "discoveries." This thesis contains the magazine's history, an extensive bibliography, and an anthology drawn from the most representative sections in each genre. Copies of The Reviewer are extremely rare, and the anthology is intended to show that …
